At Niagara Industrial Mechanical, confined space work isn’t juast another job—it’s a specialized craft. Whether it’s inside tanks, pits, silos, tunnels, or tight plant interiors, we tackle the high-risk, hard-to-reach spaces others shy away from.
Working in confined spaces presents a unique set of risks like limited ventilation, flammable vapors, restricted movement, blind spots and hard-to-see corrosion, poor lighting and emergency access limitations. These aren’t just challenges—they’re serious hazards.
That’s why NIM brings a systemized, safety-first approach to every confined space welding or mechanical job we take on.
Our crews are confined space certified, trained in lockout/tagout, air monitoring, rescue protocols, and are equipped with all the right PPE and communication gear to work smart, safe, and fast.
We Take Pride In Thorough Preparation
Before we strike an arc or lift a wrench, we engineer a full job plan:
- Site-specific hazard assessment
- Hot work permits
- Continuous gas monitoring
- Ventilation strategy
- Rescue team coordination (internal or third-party)
- Prep for weld cleanliness and surface access in tight geometry
Confined Spaces imply a potential life hazard to anyone who enters those and for that reason. We deliberately train, Carefully prepare, mindful execute and Continuously monitor the process. At NIMS we take over any project , straightforward or complex and run it smoothly and safely so your equipment can have a fresh start again and again.
We understand that confined spaces often hide what others miss—cracked supports, stress-corroded weld seams, pitted flanges, or moisture-trapped rot in hard-to-reach corners. That’s where our trained eyes and proven processes deliver value far beyond the weld.
CC types we are very well experienced in servicing:
- Tanks
- Storage bins and hoppers
- Equipment closets
- Crawl spaces under equipment
- Ventilated tunnels
- Drop ceilings
- Ductwork
- Pipeline
What We Do in Confined Spaces
- Pipe Welding & Fabrication (Carbon, Stainless, Alloy)
- Weld Repairs and Retrofits
- Precision Fit-Up & Mechanical Installation
- Flange Replacement & Gasket Sealing
- Pump, Valve, and Piping System Overhauls
- Custom-Built Spool Pieces for Tight Spaces
- Air-Handling & Ventilation Tie-Ins
Why TRUST NIM WITH confined space work
At NIMS we never underestimate the danger while performing the work in CS. That is why we strictly adhere to safety procedures dictated by OSHA and law for successfull CS work. Our workers religiously follow the steps and instructions that include:
- Recognition of permit space hazards.
- Control of permit space hazards.
- Use of atmospheric monitoring equipment.
- Use and maintenance of personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Use and maintenance of rescue equipment.
- Annual practice of permit space rescues.
- Documentation of training
